" Outstanding food! I went to Thai Son and tried the chai gio and pho. The flavors were incredible, and every bite brought me back to my travels in Vietnam. The portions were hearty and the prices reasonable. As for the service, I encountered a very friendly waitress who helped me choose my meal. Overall, great vibe, delicious traditional food, and I'll be coming back whenever I'm in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved my experience at Thai Son! The pho was delicious, and I really appreciated the generous portion sizes. It felt like I got a great deal for what I paid. The staff were friendly, ensuring my visit was pleasant. Just a quick reminder, bring cash because they do not accept cards. All in all, a lovely restaurant to enjoy a comforting meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I think I found my new go-to pho spot! The broth had an incredible depth of flavor, and I enjoyed every bite. The service was friendly enough, and I didn't mind the cash-only policy, though it would be more convenient if they accepted cards. The place smelled great and had a cozy vibe. Will definitely be back to try their spring rolls next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try Thai Son last weekend. The wait staff were friendly enough, and our food came out quickly. Unfortunately, the pho wasn’t as good as I had hoped – the broth lacked seasoning and the meat was tough. While the spring rolls were decent, the other dishes we ordered fell short. Overall, I left feeling disappointed with the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Son is hands down my favorite Vietnamese place in town! The pho is simply divine, with loads of fresh herbs and a fragrant broth. The portion sizes are more than enough for lunch. Service was friendly and the dining area was fairly clean but could be brighter to improve the ambiance. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot to visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience. Despite reviews touting high quality, the pho I received was rather bland and the meat was tough. Service was also quite lackluster; I felt neglected through my entire visit. The establishment itself could use a refresh for a more inviting atmosphere. It’s unfortunate because I had heard good things. I likely won’t return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I could not get enough of the pho at Thai Son! The rich, flavorful broth and generous meat portions made for a perfect meal. The place tends to be packed which can lead to slower service, but I find it worth the wait! Remember, it's cash-only, which I find inconvenient but manageable. Overall, a great spot for Vietnamese food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
